Genotypes Based on SSR Markers Linked to Drought Tolerance P. Sathish*, M. Vanaja, Y. Varalaxmi, B. Sarkar, N. Jyothi Lakshmi, S.K. Yadav, Ch. Mohan, A. Sushma and M. Prabhakar ICAR - Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad-500 059, India *p.sathish2@icar.gov.in Maize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important cereal crop after wheat and rice in terms of global grain production. Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses limiting crop yield by 15, 40%, and 60% at vegetative, pollination and grain filling periods respectively. Diversity among maize germplasm is important for identifying parental lines for successful breeding programme and development of hybrids with adaptation to a broad range of environments. Among the different types of molecular markers, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are one of the most promising molecular markers and quite useful in assessment of genetic diversity, marker assisted selection and genetic studies such as construction of linkage maps and QTL mapping. The present study was aimed to identify diverse genotypes of maize for genetic enhancement of drought tolerance. Methodology Twelve maize genotypes were obtained from different sources viz., ICAR-IIMR, New Delhi; ICAR-NBPGR, Hyderabad; ICAR-CRIDA; Maize Research Centre, PJTSAU, Hyderabad. The crop was sown during kharif 2021 at ICAR- CRIDA, Hyderabad, to assess the genetic diversity among the genotypes. The recommended fertilizer dose and cultural practices along with plant protection measures were followed to raise the crop. Each genotype genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves at 3- to 4-week-old plants following CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle, 1990) with slight modifications. Genomic SSR markers (25) reported having association with drought tolerance traits belonging to different series viz., bnlg, umc, and phi were selected. These markers were selected based on their repeat units and bin location to provide uniform coverage of entire maize genome. The SSR amplification of gel images and marker data were processed using Biovision software, USA. The molecular weight data were used to calculate the number of alleles, heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content (PIC) for each of the primer pairs using Power Marker 3.25 software (Liu and Muse 2005). The binary data of SSR markers was used for cluster analysis and the dendrogram was generated based on similarity matrices obtained with the unweighted pair-group method using the arithmetic mean (UPGMA). All the data analysis was carried out using the NTSYS-pc2.0 software package (Rohlf, 1998). 427 | Page Managing genetic resources for enhanced stress tolerance
International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Results Twelve maize genotypes were characterized using 25 drought related SSR markers, and the data revealed most of SSR markers as polymorphic. These polymorphic SSRs were used to estimate the genetic variation among the selected maize genotypes. Twenty-five SSR markers amplified a total of 124 alleles and the number of alleles ranged from 4 to 7 with a mean of 5 alleles per locus. The higher (7) number of alleles were amplified by markers bnlg 1179, umc 1542, bnlg 1866 and bnlg 2190 followed by 6 alleles were amplified by markers bnlg 1014, bnlg 1209 and phi014 (Fig.). The amplified products with 25 SSRs were ranged from 100 to 298 bp. The highest PCR fragment (298 bp) was generated by primer umc 1596 and the lowest size fragment (100 bp) by bnlg 490. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.70 to with 0.84 a mean of 0.75, Heterozygosity (H) ranged from 0.75 to with 0.86 a mean of 0.79. In the present study total of 124 alleles generated by using 25 SSR markers and the obtained PIC values. Based on dendrogram results 12 genotypes were separated in to 4 major clusters and cluster IV with 4 genotypes. These results clearly indicating that the selected genotypes possessed high level of genetic diversity as they showed high level of polymorphism of drought linked SSR markers.
